I thought these companies/programs include disclaimers buried in the ToS, which makes this not illegal?
At least in the case of this Comscore company, I'm assuming that disclaimer is the only reason they're not in jail for CFAA violations.
- userbinator 7y agoThis, precisely this. I suspect companies like this also have lawyers they can rely on, or they would be sued out of existence almost immediately. Just look at what Microsoft does with its "telemetry"... I'm sure many would want that to be illegal, but there is definitely somewhere in the EULA that such behaviour is specified and you agreed to it.
- krageon 7y agoToS claiming illegal things are okay are not legal where I live. If they are legal where you live, then look seriously at emigrating because you live in a functional corporatocracy.
